PHOENIX - David Spade has donated $25,000 to the family of a slain Phoenix police officer.

The 43-year-old comedian said that after reading about Officer Nick Erfle's death last month, he was "hit out of the blue" by the shooting and the fact that Erfle had overcome cancer to return to duty.

"I'm from Arizona so I'm always a little aware of things that are going on there," Spade, a Scottsdale native, told The Associated Press on Monday. "It just struck me as such a rough situation just because cops in general get kind of a bad rap lately and people forget it is the scariest job out there."

Spade, who stars on the CBS sitcom "Rules of Engagement," said he arranged for a money transfer into a bank account already established for public donations.

He has not spoken with Erfle's family or friends.

Spade said he hopes Erfle's wife was able to use the money for the funeral or other expenses. "I just thought I would throw something in the pile," he said.

Erfle, 33, was shot Sept. 18 on a busy street after attempting to arrest Erik Jovani Martinez. Martinez, a 22-year-old illegal immigrant who had been deported in March 2006, gave an alias to conceal an outstanding felony warrant. Unbeknownst to Martinez, the alias belonged to someone who also had an outstanding warrant.

Besides his wife, Erfle left behind two sons, ages 5 and 3.

word....

if you're legal.. by all means stay... if not get out..


that's awesome of spade to do though.

[Doppelgänger]

i've always thought that we (citizens of the US) should be able to just do whatever to illegals since they technically dont event exist here.

Im still pissed about the 2 boarder patrolmen that shot and wounded (not killed) a illegal alien who was known to be smuggling drugs in. They were sent to fed. pen for 11 and 12 yrs on multiple felony charges. And to top off everything the illegal drug-smuggling pile of mexicunt sh!t is suing the US government for $5mill and will probably get it. The Bush administration refuses to look into the case stating that 'they dont want to hurt US-Mexican relations"
